     Dear Professor Mills:
     
     Yesterday I met with the editorial director to discuss the Asian 
     Writers Series. The results of the meeting were encouraging. He has 
     asked me to prepare a report on the Asian Writers Series with the idea 
     that management reassess its decision to discontinue the series. 
     
     Here is where I could use some help from you.  Would you be willing to 
     fax me course outlines and syllabi for the classes that relate to 
     Asian and postcolonial literature in your program?  Having this kind 
     of data would help me immensely as I prepare my report.  Additional 
     information that would be valuable: Which publishers, other than 
     Heinemann, supply Asian literature for your program? Where do you 
     think Asian literature is heading: what are the major themes and 
     concerns authors are writing about?  How, indeed, do you and your 
     colleagues define what Asian literature is.
     
     I know these are big questions and you don't have to answer them all. 
     I would be most appreciative, however, if you could get back to me 
     with any insights and ideas you may have.
     
     You can fax the material to me at 603-431-7840, or you can send me an 
     email attachment.
     
     Thank you for your time and effort.
     
     With best wishes,
     
     Jim Lance
     Editor
